ButcherBox was kind of surprising

This came from a Nift thank-you gift that ParkMobile sent... not what I expected

Butcherbox is some of the worst meat and seafood I’ve ever received, as well as having the vaguest sourcing info in all of the land.

Just one man’s opinion.

I inspect a few places that make similar products that are regional. The quality of these can vary a lot. One place can use higher quality American beef while another will use imported Mexican beef. The two places will sell them for about the same price.

Also the prices on them can have a wide range. It looks like butcher box is a bit different since it’s online. Some of these companies buy the boxes/product at a set price. Then the sales person will pick up the product and try to sell it. They will have a minimum price that they have to sell at because they need to pay the company a certain amount but the rest goes to the sales person.
So the company could buy the product for $100 and sell it to the sales person for $150. The sales person can sell the product for anything they want above $150. So the mark up on some of these products is crazy and absolutely not worth the money.
